If you look at the throttle trace this is a slam dunk erratic driving penalty. Brake checking is not tough racing, it is dirty racing.

Brake checking to erratic driving should be clearly identifiable as having an abrupt drop in speed. The trace here is meaningless as there is in fact more than one way to drive thru a corner and a trace will only will only highlight that.

What I would love to see is George's telemetry response to Alonso, because George's on boards appear to show him barreling ahead while Alonso's harvest lights are flashing.

360 windmill example here of reckless driving, on behalf of the Mercedes.

Harvest lights aren't brake lights.
